I got the sub, but most of the announced characters do nothing for me. Gy-Gor and Shadowbeast in particular since they are larger sized and thus, more expensive. I'd rather have seen Panthor first. Guys like Vikor, at least I can use him as a Conan stand-in. So he's got some possibilities.

Subs are the only way out of the dreaded monthly Matty High Noon unless you have a hook-up. I can see them being great for MOTU completists but not for someone like me with more limited interest in the franchise. And it's not just MOTU, I am the same about Joes, Transformers, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Marvel/DC.

Man, between the MOTUC and JLU offerings, November and December are going to be expensive months. Am I incorrect in thinking that both the Palace Guards and the Parademons are being released on the same day? I was already going to be ordering at least 6 of the Parademons...my wallet aches with the thought.

But boy am I excited to have gotten in on the 2011 subscription. I started on this line late, but once I get the King Grayskull and Trapjaw rereleases I'll be all caught up. What a great series!

Nothing could have been worse than mattycollector's June sale with She-Ra, Keldor, Re-Issue Faker, DCUC Wave 5, JLU Lobo, and Ghostbusters Peter Venkman. That will go down still as the worst month for mattycollector collector's wise.

I was disappointed that Catra wasn't shown at the con - and that it'll be 9 months of no female figures in the line from She-Ra released this June - to IF Catra or another female figure is released in April. BOO.

Mattel as a whole was pretty misogynistic with the reveals this year. LOSH 12-pack (1 female, really?!?), DCUC (2 females from wave 14-16) and JLU (only 2, with one being a repaint). As far a MOTUC goes, Catra is a must, and I'm flat out shocked that we haven't seen the Sorceress yet.

Catra is a must, but as we've heard, they have a 7 year plan (I believe that's what I read) for the line, and you'd better believe they'll make every random MOTU figure again that they can before they give us the full cast of She-Ra figures. I'm not expecting much more than She-Ra, Adora, Bow, Frosta, Glimmer, Hordak, Grizzlor, Mantenna, Leech, Catra and Swiftwind. And we've already seen five of those, with the horsie on it's way.

LOL - nice nicknames. Sadly because Scorpia and Octavia (and Weaver) were never made in toy form and were created by Filmation, it's possible we'll never seen them in this line. At least, that's what Mattel keeps saying...
